Nightmare on Film Street Sits Down With Brandon Cronenberg to Talk ‘Possessor’!

Published

on

Welcome to Nightmare Alley; the detour podcast from Nightmare on Film Street. This secret back alley is where horror hosts Kim & Jon talk with notable horror filmmakers and creators about their exciting and terrifying work in the genre space!

This week, we sit down with fellow Canuck Brandon Cronenberg to discuss his just-released mindf*ck Possessor, starring Andrea Riseborough as a cerebral body-swapping assassin with an identity crisis. We talk evil corporations and their devious experiments, getting that good good gratuitous violence via practical means, and laugh about how many kids are going to be traumatized via seeing Possessor in their rearview mirrors at the drive-in. Joinn uss..

As always, let us know what you thought about this week’s episode on Twitter @NOFSpodcast, our Subreddit, and join our Horror group on Facebook to continue the conversation! And, of course, be sure to check out the eerie mind horror (the spiritual twin to BODY horror) POSSESSOR – playing at select drive-ins & movie theaters this weekend!

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.

To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.

Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.

So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
